A Castle For Your Thoughts

Build a castle for your thoughts,

So that no one can assail you.

Defend with your honor,

When lies become transparent.

 

Let your moat deter transgressors.

Let your ears be ever vigilant.

Lies are like a pebble dropped in a pond,

That goes out in all directions.

YOU AND I ARE FROM THE 'OLD SCHOOL', GEORGE...WE ARE USED TO LIES AND LIARS. STICKS AND STONES WILL BREAK MY BONES, BUT 'WORDS' CAN NEVER HARM ME...REMEMBER? WHAT MATTERS IS THAT WE KNOW THE TRUTH AND THAT THE FAITHFUL OLD MAN UPSTAIRS, CERTAINLY, KNOWS THE TRUTH. OTHER THAN THAT?...WE'RE PRESSING ON...WE'RE IN 'HIS' HANDS! HANG IN THERE AND THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH

Liars who lie about others, especially those ones that spread rumours, have issues within themselves, and because they envy others who are doing much better than themselves. I don't even pay attention to liars anymore. We defeat liars by our own actions proving to everyone who we really are, and not what the liars what us to be. We should all let liars stew in their own pots.

Great message with this poem!!

Robin Ouzman Hislop's poetry is certainly in dialogue with some of the key architects of the 'poetics of indeterminacy' – both the Modernist strands represented by the likes of Beckett and Stein, and the postmodernist strands represented, initially,
